It’s been ages since I’ve taken a look at this page… still continuing my trich journey as well as getting on with everything else in life!

I haven’t worn wigs or hair systems in ages! I just go about the day comfortable being bald… I had my head tattoo finished a couple of months ago and I love it #headtattoo

My 4 year old daughter told me today that humans are meat and lions like meat, but lions don’t like eating hair. She said that because I don’t have any hair lions would eat me… :/ #lionfood #nohairproblems
Been a bit busy recently… had a baby & my daughter started school! Hair I’m wearing at the moment is by @HairSolved šŸ’› #bald #hairsystem

Terrible service from the car park office @SouthGate_Bath - needed help with two children & the pay machine & the man I spoke to couldn’t care less… refused to give me his or his managers name #thanks

The winter really is chilly with no hair. It’s definitely a time when I wish I had my own hair again! I live in bobble hats!
Tried a new outdoor pursuit today! Wild winter swimming! It was surprising fun! šŸ¦† #firstwinterswim

"I love having my hair system but I’ve realised that it’s ok to be female and bald as well! Trichotillomania isn’t something I chose to have but being open about it and accepting it was the best thing I ever did." #hairsolved #trichotillomania

New hair! Thanks @HairSolved for giving me a manageable everyday style. I have no hair underneath so this is taped to me head. No annoying elastic and it keeps me warm ā¤ļø #trichotillomania #newhairsystem

I’ve booked a head tattoo appointment for December. I wonder if I’ll actually go through with it... the design will be something botanical šŸ‚

Also I’ve been talking to a therapist for 15 months now and don’t know how to tell her I’ve had enough šŸ™ˆ has anyone else struggled with cutting this relationship off!?? #advicewelcome

Today I have a flying lesson. Last years Christmas present from my dad. Excited & a bit nervous now! šŸ›«
I’ve forgiven myself for having #trichotillomania but it’s still a frustrating disorder. Pulling is an outlet for emotion and so far I haven’t found a healthy non-self harming outlet to replace it. Maybe some CBT would help.... :/

Making earrings has given my hands something to do each evening! No more head scratching or picking while on the sofa... you can see my creations on Etsy ā˜•ļø etsy.com/shop/teaandcreation…
My daughter is now at an age where she wants to play with hair. I don’t have any hair but that didn’t stop her!! #trichotillomania #nohair #acceptance
